Python Natural Language Processing

Overview of this book

This book starts off by laying the foundation for Natural Language Processing and why Python is one of the best options to build an NLP-based expert system with advantages such as Community support, availability of frameworks and so on. Later it gives you a better understanding of available free forms of corpus and different types of dataset. After this, you will know how to choose a dataset for natural language processing applications and find the right NLP techniques to process sentences in datasets and understand their structure. You will also learn how to tokenize different parts of sentences and ways to analyze them. During the course of the book, you will explore the semantic as well as syntactic analysis of text. You will understand how to solve various ambiguities in processing human language and will come across various scenarios while performing text analysis. You will learn the very basics of getting the environment ready for natural language processing, move on to the initial setup, and then quickly understand sentences and language parts. You will learn the power of Machine Learning and Deep Learning to extract information from text data. By the end of the book, you will have a clear understanding of natural language processing and will have worked on multiple examples that implement NLP in the real world.

Discourse integration

Discourse integration is closely related to pragmatics. Discourse integration is considered as the larger context for any smaller part of NL structure. NL is so complex and, most of the time, sequences of text are dependent on prior discourse.

This concept occurs often in pragmatic ambiguity. This analysis deals with how the immediately preceding sentence can affect the meaning and interpretation of the next sentence. Here, context can be analyzed in a bigger context, such as paragraph level, document level, and so on.

Applications

Concepts of discourse integration have been used by following NLP applications:

  • This concept often used in NLG applications.
  • Chatbots, which are developed to deliver generalized...
